Reason Behind AEW Star’s Prolonged Absence Unveiled

Toni Storm has been well as the AEW Women’s Champion for several months now and she always had Luther by her side throughout it all. However, he has been absent for a while and the reason for his absence has been revealed.

Toni Storm’s loyal butler, Luther, has been missing from AEW programming since the July 10th episode of AEW Dynamite. On that night, Mariah May betrayed Toni Storm and assaulted her. During the attack, Luther was also targeted by May, who struck him with her Owen Hart Foundation Tournament Title, kicked him below the belt, and threw him off the stage and through a table.

During a virtual signing event with Highspots Superstore, Toni Storm was selling and signing memorabilia, with all proceeds going towards her butler, Luther. She explained that the funds would help cover Luther’s medical expenses following his severe fall off the stage. Although she hadn’t checked on him recently, Storm mentioned that Luther was undergoing a difficult transplant surgery, though she wasn’t specific about the type of transplant.

“All this money is going to be contributed towards my butler, Luther, who is currently going through some kind of transplant surgery following his terrible fall off the stage some time ago. I haven’t checked on him in a long time, but this is all for him. I’ve heard it was an awful, terrible transplant surgery that Luther’s had to go through. He’s really been going through it. I don’t know what kind of transplant it is. It could really be anything.”

Toni Storm is currently feuding with Mariah May, which will culminate at the AEW All In pay-per-view on August 25, so we will have to wait and see whether Luther will make his return before then.
